2 Columbus Partnership Presentation RB 2 TOPICS Foundations of regional competitiveness A new model for inner city revitalization

3 Columbus Partnership Presentation RB 3 What is Competitiveness? Competitiveness is determined by the productivity with which a region uses its human, capital, and natural resources. Productivity sets a region s standard of living (wages, returns to capital) Productivity depends both on the value of products and services (e.g. uniqueness, quality) as well as the efficiency with which they are produced. It is not what industries a region competes in that matters for prosperity, but how firms compete in those industries Productivity in a region is a reflection of what both domestic and foreign firms choose to do in that location. The productivity of local industries is of fundamental importance to competitiveness, not just that of traded industries Regions compete in offering the most productive environment for business The public and private sectors play different but interrelated roles in creating a productive economy

4 Productivity, Innovation, and the Business Environment Factor (Input) Conditions Presence of high quality, specialized inputs available to firms Human resources Capital resources Physical infrastructure Administrative infrastructure Information infrastructure Scientific and technological infrastructure Natural resources Context for Firm Strategy and Rivalry A local context and rules that encourage investment and sustained upgrading e.g., Intellectual property protection Meritocratic incentive systems across all major institutions Open and vigorous competition among locally based rivals Related and Supporting Industries Access to capable, locally based suppliers and firms in related fields Presence of clusters instead of isolated industries Demand Conditions Sophisticated and demanding local customer(s) Local customer needs that anticipate those elsewhere Unusual local demand in specialized segments that can be served nationally and globally Successful economic development is a process of successive economic upgrading, in which the business environment in a nation or region evolves to support and encourage increasingly sophisticated ways of competing Columbus Partnership Presentation RB 4
